The new fixed pump has etched in logo onto pump. The old whiny version has a sticker. Easy way to tell what you have.

lol was just about to say that, just noticed it in the guys video comments.

Ha, do I take a peek at mine?

If I see a sticker I'll be like noooooooooooooo ! :eek:

Funny because the quiet whine when near case doesn't bother me, but the thought of having an old dodgy revision when other people are getting nice new ones with etched in logo (Shows that early revision had to be fixed) irks me as a day one buyer. Because it would be worth much less in re sale.

So I would like to get it switched out at some point. Might email Sapphire and see their policy on RMA for whiny cards

From what i read, all new stock should have the pump noise fixed. And the coil wine is a sign of a bad power supply or Noisy power lines in your area. You can fixed the noisy power lines by using a Power Conditioner.

I'm sorry what?
So my power supply (Seasonic x-series 1250W) is bad power supply? And it becomes bad power supply when FPS go above 2000? If FPS less than 2000 then my power supply is good?
And power lines in my street become noisy once fps jump above 2000? How does that theory works?

Has someone somewhere really suggested it is the local power grid causing these problems?

I hope it is rubbish and is a misquote from somewhere that has been picked up on.

yes it absolute rubbish

I think people expecting huge gains from DX12 are going to be disappointed unless they are running a older/slow CPU. As seen from my BF4 video, pretty much the same with Mantle and DX11 in frames.

and as seen from my experience i7 3930k @ 4ghz with stock 290x runs dx at ~80fps, while mantle shoots up at 120fps constant. How is that for disappointment? m?

Well I recorded the runs showing what is what, so not much else I can do really but if you managed to get a constant 120fps, good stuff.

I'm a big fan of this Lian Li PC-V359WA. All ready, time to get the Steam Library filled up

70GB Intel M.2 driver and 250GB Samsung 850 for steam lib

Very nice

Another thing about fury card size is I can easily now reach SATA connectors on motherboard which used to be blocked away by bigger cards

"I will say, though, that the microphones and speakers involved in recording and playing back this sound don't seem to capture entirely the frustrating character of the high-pitched whine. Something about it puts my monkey brain on edge, as if a teeny, tiny version of nails on a chalkboard were playing constantly in the background."

, this I can relate to - I literally turned it on - didn't even wait for it to boot to windows before shutting down & taking apart my PC. Was a simple case of ... NOPE....

If AMD confirm this will be fixed for the next revision I'll wait, otherwise jump ship - shame they seem to be engaged in a communication blackout regarding this issue (apart from that one BS statement about it being fixed for retail versions).

Have Nvidia told etailors, that if theres any coil whine with their cards, they must either replace, or refund, and thats why these guys are doing it, they are complying with the order ?

You could have at least attempted to try and work the air out and see if that resolved anything. EDIT: I realized that sounded quite harsh... I just meant that you could have tried a few things before just throwing in the towel with it so quickly.

It doesn't. Its an internal pump issue, nothing to do with air in the lines.

I was running a bath earlier and I could swear I could still hear it

Scougar · 1 Jul 2015 at 21:11

I was referring to possible cavitation noises in the pump and seeing if that was it. Instructions on other AIO's I have had do talk about working out the possible air first.

Jasonst888 · 1 Jul 2015 at 21:19

Well reading all the posts made me feel guilty so before i sent mine back for pump whine i put it back in. Tried everything, pump above rad, rad above, different psu, different system entirely and nope the whine remained from the moment you turned it on. It is a strange aio issue that i have not encountered on any of my other aio's. No idea what it is.

Hehe, no worries - if I hadn't read up on it & it was any other sound I'd have tested it further - but I knew exactly what to expect from researching a load of other comments/videos online.

Haha

I installed new case fans today, so my PC is extra quiet. I've got a passive PSU and all fans on min.

I can def here the pump whine. The closer you get to the case the more annoying it gets.

Thinking I may just send this back while I have the option (If) I have the option, and wait it out a bit until we know the problem has been fixed.

My main concern isn't the noise but the fact that these rev 1 cards will be really undesirable when it comes to re sale.

Irritating but these things do happen, as long as I can return for refund or RMA I'm not bothered. But I want to make sure I have the option. I'll get on it tomorrow and see what happens.

Silent_Scone · 1 Jul 2015 at 21:23

I've cancelled my back order for the second one.

Just setting up this i5 Devils Canyon 4690k. 1.15v 4.4 core and 1.15v 4.0 uncore off the bat and flying through realbench

arcon33 · 1 Jul 2015 at 21:57

Has anyone replaced the stock fan? Is it a standard 3 or 4 pin connection?
